Us Defense Strategy Puts Asia First

[color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]The US on Thursday unveiled a defense strategy that makes Asia-Pacific the center of its new universe, with India as a long-term strategic investment in that region.[/font][/color]

[color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]China, the other emerging power in that region, gets a wary nod as a challenger to be watched for its opaque [/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]militaristic goals, and not an ally to be trusted.[/font][/color]

“We will of necessity rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region,” said the new defence strategy paper titled Sustaining US Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense. And India is going to be a partner.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
“The United States is also investing in a long-term strategic partnership with India to support its ability to serve as a regional economic anchor and provider of security in the broader Indian Ocean region.”[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
The new defence strategy was forced upon the US military by reduced budgetary support, and a growing disenchantment with the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
“Now we’re turning the page on a decade of war,” Obama said, adding, the US had 180,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan till three years ago. That number is down by half now. The US will cut $487 billion over the next 10 years, and perhaps that double that amount if Congress and Obama fail to reach a compromise on debt reduction.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
Post the new defence strategy, India can expect more from US. “New Delhi can expect the US to seek more — more defense dialogues, more joint exercises, more weapons sales, more military exchanges,” said Richard Fontaine, of the Center of New American Strategy.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
The shift to Asia-Pacific has been Obama administration’s continued focus. The president spoke about it at length during a recent swing around East Asia, at the Asean and East Asia summits.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
Though officials emphasise none of that was about China, apprehension its aggressive rise and territorial claims were clearly behind US push into the region. And that may not be such a bad deal for India.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
“Washington’s rebalancing toward the Asia-Pacific also marks an intention to ensure that China’s rise is peaceful and orderly,” said Sadanand Dhume, of the American Enterprise Institute.[/font][/color][color=#1D1D1D][font=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana]
What about the closest allies in Europe? They don’t need the US. “Most European countries are now producers of security rather than consumers of it,” said the document.[/font][/color]
